They killed that guy, other than that one Storm Cat filly (her name escapes me at the moment) every horse they bought for that guy was an expensive disaster worse than the last. Very scary, that started a consistent pattern of that.

He is capable of doing a good job, as his work with Premium Tap attests.

True, and I am sure he knows how to be a good trainer, but he has orchestrated many disappointments in the past decade. His horses, in general, seem to underperform on a relatively consistent basis.
